Seoul

I started with the last post on this thread, 277 I think. Wow, some pretty angry posts back then. I thought it was funny to read about how guys could not get laid if they were foriegner. Well, not funny, but humourus. Back in the early 90's, if you were foriegner (at least in Osan), you could not walk down the street without Korean girls hitting on you. Most would say in broken English, "you take me to America"? Or something like that. Also, ST was $40 USD and LT was $100. These were pretty established rules. The girls were also pretty young, and you had to be careful because the really young ones (read 13-15) would try and dress up pretend they were older just to be with Americans. I guess times sure have changed. Choosy prostitues? Uh, OK.

As for the cards in the hotel room, I think I got it. You go down and have the hotel guy at the front desk do the phone call for you. Still don't know if the girl on the card is the girl that shows up. (I doubt it.) Or the price for such service. I guess you negotiate with the front desk guy? Also this probably clears up the foriegner friendly debate.

I can say that Gangnam was crawling with hot chicks on Saturday night. After reading a few posts, I wonder if these girls were Freelancers? Man, that would be super cool if they were. Also say lots of really drunk chicks around 130am. 230am walking around, holding hands, holding each other up, etc. Looked like everyone was just having fun. The guys I was with were married and do not chase pussy, so I maintained being with the group. Which was a bummer because being in the love motel with no love sucked.

I am now excited about being in Korea!

[QUOTE=Taloha]Newspaper article this morning stated the KNP will use Riot Police (there are at least 40,000 of them in Seoul) after the Chuseok Holiday (13-15 Sep) to crackdown and close down for good the Yongsan RLD and the "Hill" in Itaewon.[/QUOTE]The Tuesday after Chuseok, I walked through the Yongsan RLD and nothing was open. Nothing. I even saw some girls moving out, pulling their suitcases behind them. There were plainclothes policmen just walking back and forth through all the alleys.

Today I walked through the Yongsan RLD again at noon today and saw about six shops open on the main strip and four open on the strip closest to Shinyongsan station. I asked one of the girls whether the police were still patrolling. She said, "Yeah, but don't worry about it. " The girls working there don't seem to be too worried about it.

Hi everyone,

I am just back in Seoul for a few days, but now that I am catching up with the news, it seems I won't have any adventures this time...

So Anmas in Gangnam are no longer safe? Any hard evidence why we should stay away from them?

And how about Miari (though I never visisted that area)?

Joyofsex,

There is not much joy to be had in Korea anymore. At least not on a budget, or without a lot of risk. Ever since the Korean government gave into pressure from the American government in 2004, and pushed through anti-prostitution laws, things have been going downhill. For evidence of this, just look at the slow down of posts here. And even worse, is the photo forum. There haven't been any posts since June. Personally, I think you're better off spending some of your mongering funds to take a short trip to Thailand or the Philippines, where there are plenty of opportunities. Even if you do p4p in those locations, it is about a tenth of the cost of Korea. Sorry to say, but Korea is not a good players local anymore.

Happy Mongering!

Hw,

Despite the laws during my last visits I had at least some fun with room salon takeouts, call- ins or in anmas (though certainly expensive), so I am more concerned about the recent developments. More than the money I care about being cought.

As my travel plans are not that flexible and this is for some time my last night in Asia I now regret not having taken the offer for takeout at the room salon on Monday. (for budget reasons, but hell, we only live once)

Hi Guys im in town for a poker tournament. Staying at the Sheraton Walker Hill. Does anyone have any info on activities in the surrounding areas? If so that would be great as this is my first time in Seoul. Cheers.

Suwon isn't in Seoul, but you can access it via the subway. As far as mongering goes it's worth the trip. Just find Suwon on the subway map and head on out. Getting to the RLD isn't all that hard either.

Get off the subway and go out the front station. You'll see a crosswalk that runs over the street. Go across the street away from the station and follow the main road off to the left. You'll pass a very noticable strip mall, some shops etc..

A couple blocks down you'll see the ladies at work. Most of the prime workers tend to work on the main alley. They'll turn foreigners down flat, but if you get into the back alleys you can find ladies willing to provide for non Koreans.

Don't be afraid to bargain and you'll be surprised what you'll have to spend. Last year I spent 90,000 won in one night for 3 full services. These are all quickie shops, but I've heard of people staying the night by renting out the bed to sleep in because they were to drunk to be bothered with going home.

Quality ranges on the ladies. I've found some very nice girls that I've paid roughly 40,000 for to some down right broken down nags that I paid 30,000 for a quickie.

I've seen the police patrolling the area, but from what I understand, this was last year by the way, the police are cracking down more on areas that are near US military facilities or directly in Seoul.

Enjoy!

[QUOTE=Seoul Seeker]
On a side note my friend and I saw an extremely attractive looking girl the other day in Gangnam and we just had the instinct that she was a working girl. Shamelessly we approached her to find out what was going on. Apparently she works in an officetel setup with a number of other girls. We have to speak to her 'pimp' to make an arrangement but she said foreigners are welcome and the fee is between $80 and $120 for an hour. Full service but we have not yet found out what the difference in price range gets you. We'll most likely find out some afternoon next week. I'll post a review on how things turn out.[/QUOTE]

Soul Seeker - did you manage to get any service from the officetel girl you mentioned in your post a while ago?

I'm going to be in Seoul for a few nights from Tuesday and really would like to have my taste of the beautiful Korean girls again...

Since Youngsan seems closed, perhaps such contact could help; would you be able to share any number etc?

You can PM me if you prefer; you did not have private messages enabled...

Cheers,

Checked out Yongjugol just north of Seoul near Paju. Not really Seoul, but if you want to do some mongering nearby the pink light district is well busy and thriving there. Even saw some new buildings get put up. Paid 100,000 for 40 minutes (70,000 for 20 minutes). Girls are pretty hot, very surprising for someplace in the middle of the countryside.

Take the #30 bus north from Gupabal station if you want to take transit. The whole trip will take almost an hour, but it's worth it. Get off at Yeonpung-ri ( 연풍리 ) or Yeonpung market ( 영풍시장 ) . Or alternatively get a taxi, but this might cost a bit. Not hard to find once you get there.

I accidentally stumbled across a small red light district in Incheon this weekend. Unfortunately I didn't have the chance to try it out, but it looked pretty standard. I do believe that the smaller red light districts in the outskirts of Seoul are less victimized of the recent police raids that hit Yongsan.

Anyway, if you are in Incheon take the subway to the Incheon National University of Education. I don't remember the exit, but go towards the Gyesan Market (Gyesan Shijang). If you come from the right way you will see it right before the market entrance. If you arrive first at the market entrance, facing the entrance walk a few minutes to your left and it will appear on your right side.

Near my apartment here in Seoul there are a lot of small shops which open only at night. They tend to have names like "Amor, Love, Friends," etc. Very small and I can see booths inside (with curtains).

They usually keep the doors to the shops slightly open, and usually the inside lighting is red. I never see anyone going in or out; no music, etc. Very quiet overall. They are in clusters near where I live in Dongdaemun gu, but I have seen them in other parts of Seoul, too.

I assume they are some type of sex shop, maybe coffee shops (Da bang), or something like that. Anybody know?

Yes, I went in there with a friend back in July. They serve overly priced alcohol, and after paying for the drinks, there's a bed in the back where you could sleep with one of the girls. She wanted 100, 000 for ST, but I said no and walked out. She wasn't much of a looker (3/10).

Since they are near your apartment, perhaps you can enter one of these shops and report your experience.

Couple of impressions from recent trip:

1. BBS. Is it my imagination or are most of the revolving barbers poles that used to illuminate the city switched off? But I did try one that was showing near Seoul station and it was business as usual, but as expected not great service or quality (70K).

2. Koreana Sporex. First time there and an absolutely outstanding experience. As previously reported you get a locker and led to the showering/hot tub/ sauna area where you can prepare for massage. When you are ready head out, dry off and put on shorts & robe. You will then be taken to massage area rooms. My massage girl was tall and stunning (9/10) and spoke good English. I lost track of time but at least 90 min total with a top quality profesional massage and felt very satisfied at the end. Price 100K and top quality service and surroundings from beginning to end.

3. The Hongdae bar and club area is packed with stunning girls and from our experience many interested in meeting foreigners. This may appeal to some of you.

4. Anyone been to Belle or Cool recently... is it business as usual?

I hate to deliver the bad news (again, just like my previous Jang Han Pyung report), but YJG has also joined the crackdown list.

I think it happened recently, since someone below reported that it was open.

Well, I headed there yesterday (Friday night) to see what was happening.
NO SHOPS WERE OPEN. ABSOLUTELY NONE. NO LIGHTS WERE ON AT ALL. The back alleys were all dark too.

This is just an FYI for those of you who were planning to tread over there.
You can't imagine how I felt after having wasted away 3-4 hours of my life traveling there and back, all for nothing...I'm so angry.
